Help I need advise on 1st ticket. PLease b4 monday
Okay so I got my first ticket, Im a very carefull driver but I was speeding, I admit, near the vic park train station, that big long hill. Anways, He already reduced my speed thing, so its now 85, in a 50, MY question is I am really new to Toronto, and have heard horror stories about insurance rate for those with tickets, that is my absolute main concern, Therefore I need to dispute this ticket, thing is it says on the back of the ticket, Option 1. Plead Guilty with explanation and number 2 is Trial and Option. Which one do I take? THe cop said if I take it to court they may reduce the penalty, but I am confused by the options on the back of the ticket, I am guilty but want the fine reduced???
HELP ADVISE, ANYTHING.

Rep Power: 0 I got a ticket in September and I called up the courthouse to set up a first-attendance meeting. Basically, it's a session with the prosecutor and you try to settle the ticket. i.e reduce fine or whatever... If we can't agree on something then, then I still have the option to arrange a court date for the judge to settle... all this is so i'm told from the lady I spoke with at the courthouse...
X-Copper could get costly, but if thats what you need to do, by all means...
If you're not really sure which option to choose, you can call up the courthouse, and they'll explain each option... they were really nice about it to me
